Good call. I sold my small business in London about a month before my son was born. Now, 11 months later, apart from a small amount of consulting from home, I haven't really been employed for that time.

Financially, the move hasn't made a lot of sense. We moved to a cheaper country and we've not been short of rent/food/baby clothes etc, but I have drawn down quite a lot on my capital.

Nonetheless, I am 100% positive I made the right decision. I expect to look back in years to come and be grateful of being able to spend so much time with my newborn.

The awesome part is every dad I've talked to had either one of two responses: 1) I did the same thing and it's the best thing I've ever done (like you) or 2) I wish I had done that when my kid was born.

Everyone has been very supportive of the idea!
